Correct answer:

C. It led to the mass removal of Jews to Nazi concentration camps

Explanation:

When did Kristallnacht happen and what does it mean?

Kristallnacht happened on 9-10 November 1939 and it means "Crystal Night" in German. It's called like this because of the broken glass that filled the streets all over Germany in the morning, after the Nazis had broken into Jewish homes and business that night.

What was the aftermath?

On this night, 30.000 Jewish men were arrested by the Nazi paramilitary forces and sent to concentration camps and 7.000 Jewish business were destroyed. This happened when the Nazis already were the ruling party and had decided the persecution of Jews. Adolf Hitler already was the leader of Germany at the time.

Good movie/book about this: The Book Thief

The Final Solution is different from Kristallnacht and it's the name of the whole Nazi strategy to murder Jewish people. It was formally adopted in 1942, at a secret meeting, and it culminated with the killing of 6 million Jews. Their target was 11 million.
